My day begins at 3am when United Airlines phones to inform me that my flight from Dallas to Chicago has been canceled. They rebook me on a flight that is scheduled to leave Dallas at 630am going to Denver. I am not even supposed to leave Midland until 605. Get to the airport and the toilet leaks on the plane, DELAYED 1 hour.

Get to Dallas and luckily the flight I was supposed to catch to Denver was delayed so my sprint from gate to gate was needless (if you know me you know the sprint was not easy). Flight delayed 45 minutes. Will have to race past 27 gates in Denver to catch my to Fargo. The good news however is the lady sitting next to me is a flaming hot, perfect 10, personal trainer that loves football and is lonley enough to engage me in conversation. YUMMM

Get to Denver and once again sprint and get to the gate with 6 minutes to spare before departure. They wont let me on the flight. I am not a happy Texas to say the least. They tell me i will have to catch a flight tomorrow morning. I shout B.C. and they put me in a first class seat from Denver to Chicago. Awww comfort. i slept the entire flight even through the landing. If you have been to O'Hare before and had to change planes you know how far you have to go. Made my flight to Fargo, greeted by 9 inches of fresh snow and its a balmy 10 degrees. Of course my luggage is no where to be found.
So here i am now sitting in my room wanting to shower after starting my day 3 hours from Mexico and finishing 3 hours from CANADA.

tuesday weather update:

Snowed ALL DANG day. 8 more inches. Its a balmy 11 degrees right now. The high fo saturday is forecasted at 2.

Going to dinner last night (always an adventure on the super slick streets) we saw a couple taking a leisurely stroll down the sidewalk pushing their baby in a stroller. It was 14 degrees. I guess if its all you have ever known you really dont notice the difference.

I'm missing my left one because of this phenomenon. Midnight rendezvous with a snowman in Durango, Colorado on a skiing trip. Dripping wet in nothing but a swimsuit.

I still feel the frostbite when Amanda decides to get fresh with me.

I left the day before you got there. Was not that bad when I left. I have been hunting in South Texas for 4 days,3days left. Getting warm enough for those rattling serpents to be out. Be careful. I just sweated through another T shirt. Must go change after I shower and then a nap.

you might all probably be tired of hearing about it, but I am yet tired of telling. Check out the current temp and see what its suppose to be in the morning at 6am when we leave to go to the casino in either minnesota or SD i cant remember.
